Chemotype
Type I
THC-dominant
Terpene profile most dominant first
Chemotype — the cannabinoid and terpene profile — is the signal that stays true to a cultivar’s genetics, which is why scientists classify cannabis by chemical profile (a “chemovar”) rather than by name (Hazekamp & Fischedick 2012). The dominant terpenes below are aggregated from community and lab reporting; aroma and effect associations are preliminary and not medical claims. Lab-verified COA profiles roll out as Areto’s data comes online.
Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide
Indica, sativa and hybrid are a retail shopping convention — not a reliable guide to genetics or effects. When researchers analysed 89,923 commercial samples across six states, these labels did not predict a plant’s terpene or cannabinoid profile, and a genome-wide study found sativa- and indica-labelled plants to be genetically indistinct (PLOS ONE 2022; Nature Plants 2021). The labels are so fluid that AK-47, a hybrid, won “Best Sativa” at the 1999 Cannabis Cup and “Best Indica” four years later. For an accurate, genetics-true picture, see the chemotype above.

About Strawberry Shortcake
The expert breeders at Dark Horse Genetics took their J3 cut of a Juliet, a strain that has always delighted growers with very good yields and excellent resin production which make the strain a very good choice for extracts. They crossed her with a Strawberry Diesel to give the new creation highly sought-after Diesel fuel notes and a sweet and tasty strawberry aroma. Out comes a superb flavour mix that you really need to experience!
Strawberry Shortcake doesn’t just offer a wonderful blend of flavour notes. With a THC content that can be as high as 22% she makes for a very powerful smoke. Since she is a sativa dominant hybrid, her effect is more on the uplifting and cerebral side which makes her an ideal daytime smoke. With her happy high she is a true mood lifter that will put a smile on your face in no time: Worries be gone in 1-2-3! She can also be the right smoke if you want a boost of creativity for your activities and she makes a fantastic social smoke that you definitely want to share with some friends.
With a flowering time of 65-72 days she will likely not break any speed records but she’s still doing decent there especially when you consider that she is a sativa. The yiel
